V1

If we could be just that

Inside a photograph

A snapshot of love begun

Lovers on the run

Holdin flowers to the sun

Maybe we’d be free again

If we could wear that hat

Of a soul broke in half

A white dress of a nun

Oh why did we run

From cupid’s gun

Where did we go again

Chorus

Black n white, sepia

Flashlights n selfies

Photographic Memories

We make it then we break it

Take it till we fake it

We rip it as we’re trippin

Then we slip until we lose the grip

Yeah we rip it as we’re trippin

Then we slip until we lose the grip

Photographic Memories

V2

If we could sail that ship

With hearts stowed away

Onto a desert island blue

Lovers torn in two

Always chasin something new

Maybe we’d be free again

If we could crack that whip

Across a horseshoe bridge

A night mare dressed in black

Oh why do we mess

With what’s been blessed

What the hell kills the spell

Chorus (x2)

On The Outskirts

 

It’s hard on the outskirts

Watchin love fall apart

Hearts darting about

Bags packed like outlaws

Next train outta town

Easy come easy go

Souls lost and in doubt

Nothin we can do

To free their pain

Mistrust n disdain

Helpless on the sideline

Dusty roads windin

Winds blindin

Brings me back to you

Makes what we got

So much more

A solid core

Forevermore

Can never close that door

(tbc…)

 

Heaven On The Horizon

He’s gotten too frail to stay
Body seizin up
But his mind’s still ok
No-one wanna see him that way
His eyes will soon close
To see a chateaux in the sky
And a bright bright path
Gonna lead the way
Old man he put his life on the line
Will never be forgotten
So don’t be afraid to go
She’s waitin on the other side
Hands held out to take you away
Heaven on the Horizon
Into a brand new day
Heaven on the Horizon
Shinin a forever ray
You’re there in our heart
You’re there in the stars
Just believe in love
Cause souls they always meet again

Hope

 

Girl you gotta pure soul

And I’m sorry if I made you cry

You leave a trail of petals

Everywhere you go

And I never meant to break em down

Or cloud the sun in your sky

I see the glimmer in your eyes

A love you can’t disguise

So new n divine

A beautiful sign

Hand in hand

You can go anywhere

On a natural high

Cause love will never lie

So with white wings fly

Angel lead when you need

Follow when you hear his call

And step away

To hear the words you say

You’re the missing piece

A dress made of lace

A heavenly reminder

To never give up

Never give in

Cause with a little hope

Sowin the seeds

Into strawberry fields

Love will always know

Where only love can grow…

Kick-Start

Capo 8

I’m tired of walkin down a one-way lane

While my love for you is pourin down the drain

Yeah what’s the point in chaste

When love just goes to waste

When all that I can taste is bein replaced

Like you stuck your hand into my chest

And pulled out the rest

Now if I’m ever gonna breathe again

I’m gonna need a Kick-Start

So why don’t you put them fears aside

And gimme what I need

Oh would you be so bold

As to give me your world

(I’ll give it back ten-fold)

And while we’re on the subject of love

Of heart’s rejected, deflected and neglected

Silently perfected n architected

Let me remind you of your deed

Cause you’re the one who planted the seed

Stamped out the sprout n made me believe

So please don’t set the blame on me

Cause it’s outta my control

What’s goin on with our soul

Yeah the only way to put out this red hot coal

Is to drop it down the hole of the cold North Pole

??

Your love should be rainin down over me
Instead you’re just short-changin me
Ignorin me yeah you cause this fire to burn
In the heart of my soul
A yearn for what i’m missin
But I’m gonna win cause I aint ever givin in
Love can’t kill me just ignite our tree
Down the forrest that stands in our way
I’ll bomb the shell of your absence
With my godgiven presence
And you will feel me right there in your heart

 

Black n Blue

Maybe this will be the last song on the Lovestruck album.  Far out…who knows.

First Draft

VERSE 1

I’ve been checkin out lace

Dresses on those girls they look so pretty

Still I dream one day

I’ll be wearin one too

Cream n boho like a sarong

I’ll wear it ripped & let it come undone

As day turns to night…

Into Black n Blue

BRIDGE:  ??

CHORUS

I’ve walked for years

A thousand miles for you

And If you could see through tempered glass

You’d see…

My heart beats black n blue for you

I’ve cried a thousand tears

I’m a combat in your fields

Oh when you gonna see

My heart beats Black n Blue for you

VERSE 2

I been thinkin bout your face

Petals fallin from my into eternity

Until you turn away

I’ll be leain into you

Screamin dont’t go i’ll sing the next song

I’ll write a hit n let it be a number one

As our ray burns the charts

Into Black n Blue

CHORUS

BRIDGE

There’s a lioness prayin to the sun tonight

Runnin Westward she’s headin for the city lights

Holdin onto a flame that’s burnin from het trampled heart

She’s gonna throw that dart

Up into the broken sky

Watch it rise n fall like a shootin star

Watch it turnin Black n Blue

Desert Rose

 

I’m not sad just broken down

Soul shattered mosaic on the sand

Cause I can’t recall the chords

So I can’t play with ya Black Chord Hoodie

(Oh Lord) Sun dial pointin at quarter to

I need my page pressed in colour

From our place I know we’re safe

But can’t recall the code to unlock our truth

Forgotten mode

It’s like i’m on the outside

When I should be on the inside

I don’t wanna cry

Dried up cold-pressed like a Dessert Rose  

Corruption

 

Fuk the politicians n government officials

Over-chargin homie-bargin

Corrupt cops they never stop

Flockn n mockn n heart-stoppin

Power hangin from their belts

Mr Frasers shootin tasers n earasin

With guns n bums n freedom never comes

Rain is comin black storm is formin

There gonna be a revolution a new constitution

Petition been signed by evry man & his watch-dog

Street gangs, bikies n suicidal schoolies

Fake chains and erratic names

Rebels yellin to their tellies

Info escapin into a  Japanese whisper

Repeated then deleted, extorted then imported

Rounded up like sheep without their bleep

Yeah catch us if you can

You’ll find us on the scrap heap

Beneath em cruel governmental rules

 

 

Madder

Funny how one week feels like a million years

Even though it’s sunny and the bees are buzzin wild

Runnin from this mad house

I guess we’re signed n sealed

Yes I guess we got the real deal

I guess this is how love feels

Dark silence a pittance in the heart

Starin mirror sculptured into a grinnin grim reaper

He’s laughin at me yeah he’s torturin me

Now all I got is paper and a blanket of white

So i’ll scrape away the plight and put up a fight

World tilted now & i’ve fallen even deeper

Drownin core leanin even steeper

How’my gonna turn it around hands tied

Maybe I died maybe I cried maybe i’m tried

Maybe they lied and that’s why i’ll never be his bride

Bein here i’m even Madder tortured by the ladder

Even tempered even Madder
